By default, it can be found on Hijack's PopUp0 menu, which can be assigned to the knob using the Hijack menu Knob Press Redefinition feature. Once that is done, a short tap of the knob brings up PopUp0, and the knob can rotate to peruse the sub-menu. This is nothing new.

Alternately, one can use the ir_translate feature to assign the FidEntry function to any available button, such as the '4' on the RioRemote, with something like this in the config.ini file:

; Not tested by me:
[ir_translate]
Four.M=FidEntry.N

Once FidEntry is active, use the digits on the remote to enter the complete desired fid number, in hex. The next/prev buttons work as expected, as does the knob and all of the other usual suspects. Press Menu/Ok (or the Knob) when done, and your FID will play (if valid).



So the serial interface does:
#fid REPLACE
#fid- ENQUEUE
#fid+ APPEND
#fid! INSERT

and this patch does:
+ hijack_serial_rx_insert("#", 1, 1);
+ hijack_serial_rx_insert(fidx, d+1, 1);
+ hijack_serial_rx_insert("\n", 1, 1);

after filling fidx via either button presses or knob usage. while i think it would be more useful to directly be able to choose a mode, i can't think of a way to do that, whereas presumably the select mode button could be hijacked to change modes, with a default of replace if no press. if this sounds reasonable, would you accept a patch? i'm going to have to rebuild my toolchain as my last powerpc mac went to a new home shortly ago when that person's previous machine (a G3) started kernel panicing randomly every few days.
